Read Come with Me (Let It Be Me #2) for Free Online

sure yet, but it seemed there weren’t enough volunteers. 
    She noticed the lady looking up at her inquiringly. 
    “I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Liz Hatton,” she said, offering her hand.
    “I’m Corrine Young,” she said. “I just live nearby so volunteering here seemed like a good way to pass time since my kids are away for college.”
    “That’s great,” Liz exclaimed. 
    “They already have more than enough volunteers in the soup kitchen,” Corrine informed Liz, “and I love reading, so this seems perfect for me.” 
    “Around how many people are using the library?” Liz asked.
    “We only have two dozen families living in Stone Homes right now so we only get around three to five people per day.” Corrine nudged her head towards the little boy. “Sam is almost here everyday. He lives on the third floor.” 
    Liz smiled. It only took a boy like Sam to make the library all worthwhile. Liz looked at him and guessed him to be around twelve years old. It was good he has learned to read even if he couldn’t go to school.
    She looked back at Corrine. “Thank you for your time – for answering my questions and for volunteering here. I’ll be back really soon.”
    “That would be great, dear,” Corrine said.
    “Nice to meet you, Corrine,” Liz greeted, as she left.
    She didn’t forget about it until she went back to the office. She zoomed to Dana’s desk, resting her arms on the divider. 
    “Do you know how I can go about volunteering at the Stone Homes library?” she asked softly. She didn’t really want to broadcast it to the whole office. 
    “Wow, girl, you’re like some superwoman,” Dana kidded. “Talk to Steve. He handles the database of all our volunteers.”
    “Great,” Liz exclaimed. “See you later!”
    She went over to Steve’s desk, and found him working on his computer. Steve was also one of the office’s resident tech guys. 
    “Hey Steve, got a minute?” 
    “Sure Liz, what’s up?”
    “I want to volunteer at the Stone Homes library,” she said. “Is there like a schedule?”
    “Yes there is,” he said, scrolling through his desktop to find the file. “Glad you’re interested. There are only three volunteers so far. “
    Liz nodded. “I met one of them earlier.” 
    “Here you go,” he said as the schedule appeared on his screen. Liz scanned it and found there were hours during the week it was empty.
    “What happens when there’s no volunteer for a certain time?”
    “Well then it will be closed until the next volunteer arrives.”
    Liz was saddened by that fact. She thought of little Sam who couldn’t read anytime he wanted. 
    “Do they already have a borrowing system? For the library user to take home a book?”
    Steve shook his head. “No one has worked it out yet.”
    Liz decided she should try to design a system for the library. 
    She leaned forward to see which hours on the weekends were free. She had Steve take note of the hours she chose, then asked for a printout so she was aware of the other free slots in case she had more time to spare.
    “One other thing,” she told Steve. “I want to try collect books for the library. If I do get donations can I just go ahead and bring them there and give you a copy of the inventory?”
    “Sure, that would be awesome.”
    “Great, thanks Steve,” she said.  
    She already felt better.

    The day was pretty good for Liz, especially when Jack was available to meet her that evening. Since she started her work, she only saw him once last week to have some drinks.
    She missed the old times -- when they would see each other at least twice a week, when they would call each other so often they’d almost run out of things to say, and when intimacy was craved for regularly.
    They met at a watering hole near the Chrysler Building that evening.
    “I got to visit Stone Homes today,” she recounted excitedly. “It’s only partially occupied and completed but it’s going to be
